I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Good job, Sophie's Army. We followed a plan, and we got Sarah Fawcett safely out. Everyone did really well.

I think we're going to have to be careful in the next few days, depending on what Megan knows, and depending on how much the portraits picked up. So we might have to follow up with some of that stuff. So. Be careful.

So.

Draco came up with the idea to have Sally-Anne pretend to be Sarah Fawcett. And he made sure there was a fake fight so that it'd draw attention away from Ron and Pans and Sarah getting away and make people think Sally-Anne was Sarah.

And when we were making our way to Umbridge's office and coming up with plans, Hermione and Pansy and me told him that we had a way to communicate beyond the galleon. And we gave him the code and the ink. So he'd be able to use it if he needed to, and could work it into his plans. Only he didn't have to end up using it. And he knows Hermione has a wand. Because she helped disguise Sally-Anne.

We've been talking. Draco and me. Over hols, and since we got back from hols. And I trust him. I know some of you don't, but it was sort of an emergency, and we were hoping to bring him on soon anyways, and I know it'll be okay.

Because when we did what we did, we did it all together. As a team. And he was a part of that team. And what we did was amazing. We saved someone's life tonight.

Two lives. Because Umbridge wanted Sarah to tell her where she'd got the potion from. So if we hadn't got Sarah out I'd have been in that office next.

Yes.

Oh thank Merlin. I was with Eloise when the galleon went off and didn't dare do anything out of the ordinary.

And there was so much confusion later. I'm so relieved it all came off.

I just sort of screamed and ran around a bit during Operation Mayhem, and then stood at the entrance to make sure everyone was looking at Umbridge instead of out into the hall.

I'm pretty sure no-one else saw Sally-Anne and Draco go by, and I didn't even see Ron and Pansy and Sarah.

See, that was good. Because it's exactly what we needed. And if something had happened, you would've been there to let us know.

And there were so many people running around doing things, it would've been hard to keep track of if there'd been more.

I think that was a good move.

She might have suspicions about who set off the distraction, but the fewer of us she can point to as acting out of the ordinary the better.
